An item appeared in yesterday's
Chronicle to the effect that the enroll-
imentof the public echools for the new
year was 116. The error was obvious, as
it has been many a long year since The
Dalles had only that many school chil
dren. The figures should have read 611.
Tb,e defendants testimony in the di
vorce case of Witham vs. Witbam is be

this week. Judge Bradshaw ordered a
doable reference and George W. Barnes,
the plaintiffs.attorney, is in town today,
and will not likely finish before Thurs
day. Deeds were filed in the office of the
county clerk today from John Irvine. to

13 in Kingeley ; consideration $200.
It is now or never about the fair.
This is the year of all others in which
we should hold one. It is a season of
jubilee and with prosperity already at
our feet we should do something to show
our enterprise. A large sum of money
was pledged for the firemen's tourna
ment. Why.cannot that money be do
nated to the fair? Times are continu
ally improving and the money can be
spared better now, even than when it
was pledged.
The fish that refused to come, last
summer are here at last. The wheels

The carpenters began working this
morning remodeling the Commercial
Club. - It .will take several weeks before
the new quarters will be ready for the
members. New alleys will be construct
ed on the first floor, while the up stairs
will be changed in arrangement so -that
the social features may have more room
for development. We are glad to see
the club making improvements, as they
are indicative- of prosperity; but we
trust the business men who compose its
membership ' will not forget that the
club has important functions to perform
besides those of promoting sociability
among its members. The needs of The
Dalles are great and pressing, and the
Commercial Club was organized to look
after these necessities, as well as to play
a part in the social life of the town. We
are not criticising, but simply suggest

leable iron, and purchasers areassared. that it is as good and
as honest as skilled labor and money can produce.- If the parts
now in malleable iron were (as in other so-called steel ranges)
made of cast iron, the price could be greatly reduced ; but-the
MAJESTIC is not made with a view to furnishing extra
parts for repairs.

Columbia River valley, and less than
one-half inch in the interior counties.
The rainfall for the past week was from
0.15 to 0.30 in the Columbia River val
ley, and about one-quarter inch in the
interior counties. The mean tempera
ture for the week was 59 in the valley
and 51 in the interior, being 1 and 3,
respectively, lower than for the preced
ing week. The highest temperature dur
ing the week was 78, on Sunday; the
lowest 46 in the valley and 36 in the
interior, on Thursday ; in the latter sec
tion, fro9ts were quite general on
Wednesday and Saturday. The first
snow of the season fell on 'the moun
tains of Grant county on Friday.
Crops The rains did little damage to
the grain crop, and no damage to hops
and fruit. In portions of Umatilla and
making! -)nion cocnties some of the grain was
3hiD in ' 8ftened. which makes it not bo good for
mining purposes, out lor snipping it nas
not been injured. The harvest is prac
tically over and threshing continues to
be active. The major portion of the
grain crop is now being hauled to ware
houses and stations for shipment to tide
water. .The grain is moving nicely and
no wheat DlocKacie is anticipated. Jb all
plowing and seeding have commenced in
most sections. The fruit crop is being
gathered, dried and shipped. The best
fruit crop in years i. e., pears, peaches,
prunes, and apples is reported from all
sections.
The third crop of alfalfa is being
gathered ; throughout the stock country
a. big supply of hay is on hand for win

. There are three chairman of county
committees in Eastern Oregon who are
applicants for office. Chairman Potter
of Baker county wants the postoffice at
Baker City; Chairman Livermore of
Umatilla county the registership of the
La Grande land office, and Chairman
Patterson of Wasco county the postoffice
at The Dalles. The term of the present
register at thdlLa Grande office expired
on September 2d, but no recommenda
tion for the appointment of his successor
has been made, and the chances are not
favorable for the recognition of Mr.
Livermore. . There are half a dozen ap
plicants for the Baker City postoffipe
and although B. T. Potter, chairman of
the Republican central committee, did
excellent work during the spring and
fall campaigns of last year, his chances
of being selected for postmaster are' not
the brightest. Chairman Patterson has
no opposition as yet at The Dalles. The
term oft Postmaster Crossen does not ex

fore it does there may be other appli
cants for the place than Mr. Patterson,
which would likely .prove pleasant to
